"No, they didn't have a link for that." CrispyQ May 2016 #101

You guys are really desperate to make this into a scandal. YouDig May 2016 #12

Scandal, or just ongoing blatant lies - neither is flattering for her. jmg257 May 2016 #15

Neither, just a total non-issue about which email account she used. YouDig May 2016 #16

Sure, the email is a small issue - the poor judgement, the selfish shady reasons. jmg257 May 2016 #17

The only shameful thing is people trying to milk it for political gain. YouDig May 2016 #19

Yeah...the FBI and IG are all about politics. Press Virginia May 2016 #26

No, they're going through the motions. The IG report basically said no big deal. YouDig May 2016 #28

No big deal? It directly contradicts what she claimed as her reason for Press Virginia May 2016 #31

Yeah, she didn't make printouts of every email, just like the other SOSs before didn't. YouDig May 2016 #35

Uhh, she didn't need to make printouts to comply. Furthermore Press Virginia May 2016 #40

First of all it wasn't federal law, it was state department policy, basically red tape. YouDig May 2016 #42

Policy based on the Federal Records Act....which the IG said HRC didn't comply with Press Virginia May 2016 #45

In other words red tape. Same as Colin Powell, Condi Rice. YouDig May 2016 #47

No. It's a law...the policies are made to comply with the law Press Virginia May 2016 #50

Yeah, she might have also stolen a stapler. I can feel your desperation, but this YouDig May 2016 #55

You are clueless Press Virginia May 2016 #56

You are clueless. YouDig May 2016 #58

Way to make the OP's point... ljm2002 May 2016 #89

RIP Alan Rickman. YouDig May 2016 #29

You can't have it both ways. jonno99 May 2016 #37

They haven't, they released all the emails, they didn't lie about anything. YouDig May 2016 #39

If that were true, if they came clean from the very beginning, then why is this still jonno99 May 2016 #49

It's a topic for discussion because her political opponents want to talk about it. YouDig May 2016 #52

So the FBI is only interested now - because of politics? nt jonno99 May 2016 #54

They're going through the motions. Don't worry, she won't be indicted. YouDig May 2016 #57

"They're going through the motions" - to satisfy whom? You may be correct though - jonno99 May 2016 #66

It's highly politicized at this point. Yes, the FOX people will always think that there YouDig May 2016 #67

How benevolent of you philosslayer May 2016 #69

Just pointing out reality. In fact, I do it almost daily. cali May 2016 #70

The better of two very bad choices. cali May 2016 #74

So since you ARE voting for her.. philosslayer May 2016 #76

I actually have not said I'll vote for her. cali May 2016 #80

Do you really think any of our comments on DU matter outside this community? riderinthestorm May 2016 #96

Does "you guys" include the FBI? ljm2002 May 2016 #88

A few questions for you - Avalux May 2016 #108

Yes, there is a difference but they are still comparable. randome May 2016 #14

Then why did she say she did follow the rules, when she knew she didn't? jmg257 May 2016 #21

When someone says something like that, it's a throwaway phrase. randome May 2016 #41

you are becoming more and more intellectually dishonest... grasswire May 2016 #51

At least I recognize when the fairy has expired. randome May 2016 #64

You mean when Clinton said it - it was clearly garbage...that I get. jmg257 May 2016 #82

I wish she was more articulate and didn't stumble so often. randome May 2016 #85

That is true - she is the nominee! nt jmg257 May 2016 #87

"throw away phrase" ??!!! bvar22 May 2016 #103

I did read somewhere that Bill had the server from previous "business" - not sure jmg257 May 2016 #30

You move in those rarified circles and things have a way of happening for you Fumesucker May 2016 #34

So, to be clear.... Sivart May 2016 #99
